Granite Restoration · Edina, MN · Est. 1996
Granite Restoration in Edina, Minnesota.
Edina is the metro's premium-tier first-ring suburb. Southdale Center opened here in 1956 as the nation's first enclosed mall, and the 50th and France district still anchors the north side. The Country Club District has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980. Granite restoration for Edina homes. Kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, fireplace surrounds, and stone floors. Diamond polishing followed by a fresh impregnating sealer that holds for years. Edina is about 95% developed. The housing runs heavily to 1940s through 1960s ramblers, Cape Cods, Tudors and Colonials. A teardown-rebuild rate of roughly 100 homes a year keeps a steady stream of new luxury construction coming. Garage norms are 1- and 2-car detached or attached on the original stock; 3-car standard on teardown-rebuild luxury homes. Full basements are universal; walkouts are limited.
Granite Restoration in Edina
What an install looks like in Edina.
Edina has the most affluent residential profile of the cities we serve, and the project mix reflects it. Premium-tier installs, Ultimate and Apex, go into teardown-rebuild luxury garages. Country Club District homes from the original era have weathered 70-plus winters and earned a real restoration. Edina is also one of our most common cities for stone restoration. Granite and marble in the Country Club District and Morningside homes were finished to a high standard originally. Most of it needs polishing and a reseal rather than replacement. Premium positioning is the right call here; budget framing does not match what Edina homeowners expect from a contractor on their property.
Granite Restoration specifically in Edina
Edina granite restoration is one of our most-common project profiles given the density of original-build luxury kitchens in the Country Club District, Morningside, Indian Hills, and Highlands neighborhoods. Most of these counters were installed 15 to 30 years ago at a high original price point; restoration is a fraction of replacement and avoids the demo and downtime. Diamond polishing brings the original finish back; impregnating sealer holds for the next 1 to 3 years.

Why DIY sprays don't fix aged granite in Edina
Why granite needs occasional restoration.
Granite is durable but not maintenance-free. The impregnating sealer that protects it from staining wears off over years of cleaning, cooking, and daily use. Once the sealer is gone, etching from acidic foods (wine, citrus, vinegar) becomes permanent, and the surface starts to look dull. Restoration fixes both: re-polish to remove the dullness, reseal to prevent it from coming back.
DIY granite spray
What most homeowners try first
- Surface gloss only, washes off in weeks
- Doesn't address etching or scratches
- No real sealer protection
- Has to be re-applied every wipe-down
Professional restoration
What we install
- Diamond polish removes etches and scratches
- Impregnating sealer that holds for years
- Restores depth and clarity, not just shine
- Done in a single visit, most cases
DIY sprays are not bad for in-between cleaning. They are bad as a substitute for a real restoration when the granite has actually aged.
Edina Pricing
Granite restoration pricing in Edina, MN.
Final price depends on the scope (Spot, Full, or Maintenance), the size of the surface, the type and depth of damage, and the type of granite. The ranges below are typical project totals from real Chaska-area installs. Quote is written and fixed once we have seen the surface.
Single countertop or vanity
Typical kitchen run or bathroom
From
$400
to $900
- Most common scope
- Full polish + fresh sealer (edges quoted separately)
Multiple surfaces or floors
Whole kitchen + bath, or stone floors
From
$800
to $2,500+
- Bundle pricing if booked in one visit
- Floor jobs scale by square footage
Damaged or chipped edges, heavy etching that needs additional polishing passes, or larger stone floor jobs add to the scope. We talk through anything significant at the in-home assessment so the price you receive is the price that holds.
The 6-step install
How we install your floor in Edina.
Same approach on every granite project. The difference between a granite that ages gracefully and one that has to be replaced is the prep behind the sealer.
- 1
In-home assessment or phone estimate
Standard path: in-home visit, surface assessment, fixed written quote on the right scope. No salesperson pressure, no follow-up call campaigns. Faster option: a ballpark over the phone. With 30+ years of restoration work behind the answer, the phone number lands close on most jobs. The final on-site quote is the price that holds, and you are under no obligation to proceed if the on-site number differs. - 2
Mask and protect surrounding surfaces
Cabinets, walls, appliances, and floors near the work area get masked off. Granite work involves polishing slurry, so containment is part of the install. - 3
Repair localized damage
Chips, deep scratches, and edge damage get filled and shaped before the polishing pass. On Spot-scope work, this step alone may be the whole project. - 4
Diamond polishing pass
Variable-speed diamond polishing across the surface using progressive grit. This is the step that removes etching, restores depth, and brings back the original finish. - 5
Detail pass on visible imperfections
Final inspection across the polished surface and a targeted detail pass on any remaining minor imperfections (light scratches, residual dull spots). Edge refinishing is an extreme process not included in the standard scope; if your edges need rework, we quote it separately at the in-home assessment. - 6
Impregnating sealer and walk-through
Fresh impregnating sealer applied across the whole surface and worked in. Final walk-through with you on the restored granite. Care guide for the first 30 days and a recommendation for the right re-seal cadence.
Edina questions
Common questions for Edina homeowners.
Does the Country Club District Heritage Preservation designation affect a garage coating?
No, for interior work. The Country Club District has been a Heritage Preservation Landmark since 2003, with Heritage Preservation Board oversight on exterior visible changes. Interior garage floor coatings, basement coatings, granite restoration, and shower glass work are not affected. If you are also doing anything exterior, mention it at the in-home estimate.
Why is the Country Club District such a common Clear View project?
The Country Club District homes are 80+ years old now, originally built to a high standard, and most are still on the original concrete slab in the garage and the original granite and marble in the kitchen. That combination (long life remaining, high original quality, current surface fatigue) is exactly what restoration is for. Diamond grinding plus a polyurea basecoat on a Country Club garage slab produces a result that reads as brand-new in a space where 'brand-new' is the wrong note.
Can you match a coating to the existing finish of an Edina luxury home?
Yes. Edina luxury garages are often spec'd with neutral, lower-contrast flake blends that read as a finished interior surface rather than a workshop floor. We carry the chip samples to match what is already in the house: floor tile, wall color, lighting tone. David walks through options at the in-home estimate.
What about restoration vs replacement on Edina marble or granite?
Almost always restoration. Edina marble and granite was usually installed at a high original price point ($8,000 to $25,000+ for a single kitchen counter run), and replacement carries the same number today plus demolition, plumbing disruption, and a multi-week downtime. Restoration is a fraction of that and finishes in a single visit. Country Club District and Morningside marble in particular responds extremely well to diamond polishing.
Can you really remove etching from granite?
Yes. Etching is surface damage where acidic foods or cleaners have eaten into the polished layer. Diamond polishing physically removes the damaged layer and restores the finish underneath. Most granite responds well; very deep etching may need multiple passes.
What makes the HydroShield protection better than retail granite sealers?
Retail granite sprays are oils or silicones that sit on top of the stone. They wash off in days or weeks of normal cleaning, and they don't address etching at all. HydroShield is a molecular-bond coating: it chemically anchors into the granite's surface so liquids bead up instead of soaking in, hard-water residue cannot anchor into the pores, and the stone is significantly easier to wipe clean without harsh chemical cleaners. It's a licensed, pro-only product; you cannot buy HydroShield at a hardware store or online, only through certified dealers. Clear View is a licensed HydroShield dealer, applies it as the final step of every full restoration, and backs the HydroShield application with a 10-year written warranty.
How often should I re-seal my granite?
Depends on the granite type and how heavily it's used. Most kitchen counters need a fresh sealer every 1 to 3 years. We can recommend the right cadence after seeing your specific surface.
Do I need to clear the counters before you arrive?
Yes. The work surface needs to be completely cleared, including small appliances, items behind the sink, and anything on the cooktop. We'll go over the prep at the in-home estimate so nothing's a surprise.
What about the kitchen sink area?
Granite around sinks tends to age fastest because of the constant moisture. Full restoration includes the sink-area surfaces. Granite sinks themselves can also be restored; we'll evaluate them at the estimate.
How long does a typical kitchen restoration take?
Most single-kitchen jobs are 4 to 8 hours on site. Larger projects or floors run longer. We schedule with you so the kitchen is back in service the same day or by the next morning at most.
Will the granite look different after restoration?
It should look like the granite did the day it was installed: full color depth, polished finish, clean edges. If anything, it usually reads as 'newer' than it did before. We never change the color or finish style without your direction.
Is restoration worth it vs replacement?
Almost always. A single granite countertop run typically costs $4,000 to $15,000 to replace. Restoration is a fraction of that and avoids the demo, plumbing disruption, and downtime. The conversation we have at the in-home assessment is honest: if the granite truly can't be restored, we'll tell you.
Can you restore granite that has cracks?
Hairline cracks can usually be filled and stabilized. Active cracks or structural damage are different. We'll assess honestly at the in-home visit and tell you whether restoration is the right path.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Every restoration includes a written limited warranty. Full Surface restorations that finish with HydroShield are backed by a 10-year written warranty on the HydroShield sealer application; Spot Restoration warranty terms are narrower. David walks through the warranty document at the in-home estimate.
